We use the very latest software and all systems are kept upto date, so no matter what artwork file version you supply, we'll be able to use it.

Ideally used for product labelling, they can also be used throughout thousands of other industries. They are truely a multi-purpose label that fit nearly all modern labelling requirements.

Artwork Setup

When designing your waterproof labels, please feel free to add whatever colour you choose. From Pantone colours to solid and tinted colours, we support all CMYK colour formats. You may want to add a solid background colour, this is no problem, just remember to supply the artwork with 2mm of bleed around the edges of the design.

Adhesives

Our waterproof labels come with a variety of adhesives. They are based on the top coat finish that you choose. The glossy labels are available with a choice of 3 popular adhesives, Permanent, Extra Permanent and Removable. The matt finished labels are available with a permanent adhesive only. Extra permanent adhesive is ideal for low energy surfaces such as ABS plastics. Such applications for an extra permanent label would be unpainted car bumper stickers, wooden objects and other objects that are not completely smooth.

Size & Bleed

Always set your artwork up at the correct size, it makes it easier for everyone involved. If any of your design bleeds of the edge of the label, ensure you add at least 2mm on artwork extra on each edge of the label.

Colour Mode

We print in a CMYK mode. This means that all colours you see on screen can be achieved on the printed sheet. If you are designing your labels using RGB mode you will notice a slight colour shift in your printed labels when finally printed. This is because many colours in the RGB mode are not within the CMYK colour gamut. We convert your artwork to CMYK upon receipt if it has not already been done.

Resolution

We advise you to set your resolution to a minimum of 350dpi at actual size. This ensures that all text and graphics when printed are legible. We will usually let you know if we feel that a design will not be legible before we go to print. This is however your own responsibility as we cannot always tell from the artwork file.

CMYK 100% Black

When setting up black text, always use the CMYK colour mode as discussed earlier. You will need to ensure all text is made from 100% Black only and not a mix of RGB or CMYK colours. We can not be held responsible if your artwork is set-up incorrectly and text doesn't print as crisp as it possibly could do. We provide these artwork guides to ensure you get the best possible print. Feel free to discuss any artwork requirements with us.

Waterproof labels and stickers

If you want to draw attention to something, either as part of a sale or as a warning, a sticker is often the best way of getting your message across.
Available in a range of different sizes, it’s also important that stickers and labels are suitable for use in a range of different environments.
If you plan on using your stickers outside, or in an environment which is damp or humid, you will need to ensure that your printed labels are waterproof. If you try and use a sticker with a standard seal and bottom, it will quickly peel away, tarnishing your image.
But here at Stickythings Ltd, we know how to make our labels last and that means offering a waterproof option for when you need it.

Property information and warnings

There may be times when you need to have a warning about either entering the premises or hazards which could apply.
A large sticky label is the best way to achieve this, but you need to have confidence that it’s not going to suddenly peel away.
If the label is going to be exposed to the elements you need to ensure that it’s made from high quality vinyl and will stay crisp and in high definition even after the outside gets damp.

Advertise an event

Waterproof stickers and labels come in a range of sizes, and it’s possible to use a larger scale design to advertise an upcoming event or scale.
Very durable when used outside, you can place your label in a prominent position and help to drive traffic your way with minimal effort.
Of course, if you intend for your labels to only be briefly glanced at, perhaps by placing them alongside a busy road, you will need to ensure the information can be captured immediately. Don’t be tempted to crowd too much information onto it, or add too much text. Keep the design simple and uncomplicated and you will reach a far bigger audience.

Banner advertising

If you’re at an exhibition or a fair, you may well have a banner advertising the services that you’re offering. A waterproof sticker could be the perfect addition to your marketing - supplementing the information on your banner or offering more information.
Whether you’ve got a sale that you want to draw attention to, or are offering a discount, a colourful waterproof sticker can help get the customers to look at your stall.
Another great use of this kind of sticker is to add simple instructions, allowing customer to see exactly how you use your products and why they should buy.

Around the home

Of course, it’s not just businesses that might find waterproof stickers and labels valuable, saving them from a damp soggy mess.
If you’re a frequent cook, you may well have boxes of ingredients which need to be labelled. But in a kitchen environment, there’s lots of heat, humidity and possibly even dampness. If your labels get splashed or spend a long time in a warm room, you don’t want them to peel off or disintegrate.
Waterproof labels could solve the problem, sticking steadfastly to the tins and boxes no matter what they are subjected to!
Outside the home, waterproof labels could also find many uses. For parents who send their children to school with a packed lunch, a waterproof label could help them to identify their lunchbox from the hundreds of other identical designs. Added to PE bags or swimming kits too, a waterproof label will stay on tight even when subjected to a drenching. Just like the label says, our labels are premium quality

Conclusion

Available in a range of sizes and shapes, waterproof labels can be used for many purposes by both businesses and in and around the home.
Whether you need a round waterproof label or a square waterproof label, why not see how much you could save by using Stickythings Ltd?
